LANE’S IMPROVED IMPERIAL 
SUG,1R BEET. 
This auperb variety is the result of » careful selec¬ 
tion for several years past of the French Imperial 
Sugar licet. After asutiafactory trial, wc can recom¬ 
mend It with the greatest confidence, u* being hurdler 
and more productive than the ordinary variety, and 
the best beet raised for fending cows or young stock. 
From thirty to forty ton* raised to the acre, at a cost 
Of from five to eight, cents per bushel. The cheap¬ 
ness with which they can he rained, the large amount 
of healthy, nutritious food raised to the acre, and Its 
great value as food for cattle, sheep aud swine, make 
this the most profitable root to mine. 
Four pounds I* the amount usually required for 
one acre. 
Price, 10 cents per ounce ; 30 oeutn lour ounces ; $1 
per lb.; 61b*., $6.
